Ha! Same boat with first hand knowledge contradicting my own research. I recently found a distant relative who passed on recollections of a great-great aunt via a nephew back in the 1980s. I responded that I hated to contradict information so close to the source from Great-Great Aunt Martha, but based on those first names I cannot connect our family beyond that. On the other hand, based on some seemingly erratic clues from census data, I am able to connect beyond that using different first names. What could be more fun in research than Americanized French-Canadian names (Michel) both anglicized (Michael) and phoneticized (Mitchell)? Your last name changed and used interchangeably for a period of time (Bourgeois to Blaise) and all of the various spellings thereof (Bushwa, Burgess, Blaze).
